This has been a very busy week. On Sunday, I flew to Ohio for the taping of a segment of Quilting Arts TV. Just because of the way things worked out with flights and timing, I was there for 3 full days to do something that in the end will probably take up all of about 5 minutes on the show. But it was fun, and I got to meet several new people, fabulous artists, and the lovely and charming Patricia (Pokey) Bolton. I was honored to have the opportunity to talk about my work on this very well-regarded PBS show. I’ll let you know when I get the details about when it will air.

Since I had so much time there, I used the opportunity to take lots of pictures in Cleveland and Akron. I’ll be posting some of them in the next few days.

All of this happened right in the middle of trying to get a lot of work finished for the Evenings with Monet show, which we hung yesterday, the day after I got back. With 4 of us working on it, I think we managed to hang well over 50 pieces in the space of about 90 minutes. Then it was off to a nearby restaurant for a well-deserved margarita.
